[Verse]
E                  
I pursued happiness
B                              
A tapestry of fluorescent bliss
        B                
But I'm dying on the vine
B                                 
Don't recognize the view from here
       B                                
A poor reflection in the rearview mirror
B               
Of my own design
      B                   
Every day is moving faster
      B                     
Wanna hide from the disaster
          A                  
But I'm a prisoner of my time


[Chorus]
              E             
I'd rather be young and dumb
A                            
Surrounded by the possibility
                 E           
Don't want to be old and numb
A                                    
Wanna tell myself a lie I can believe
                 E        A
I wanna be young and dumb ■


[Verse]
E                                
I tried living in the ivory tower
Abm                                
Held down three jobs at ten an hour
        A                
Just to get into the door
E                         
Been a hero and a deadbeat
Abm                                
A pencil pusher and a piece of meat
             A                 
Wish I could forget what I know
    B                       
And ■ when my eyes are clear
B                                       
I see good intentions are a cheap veneer
          A             
For every evil justified


[Chorus]
              E             
I'd rather be young and dumb
A                            
Surrounded by the possibility
                 E           
Don't want to be old and numb
A                      
Wanna tell myself a lie
      A          
Wanna tell myself
                    Gbm7
I'd rather be young ■   
         Gbsus4 B
And dumb ■      ■
Gbsus4 Gb7  Gbsus4
It's   hard enough
                                B     
To know it's not enough to know better
         Gbm7        
If these aching bones
                           B       
And these jagged stones go together
                   A    
Well I'd rather be young

[Chorus]
B             
Ashes to ashes
   B                     
We all end up in a casket
A                             
Guess I'm fighting for my life
              E             
I'd rather be young and dumb
A                            
Surrounded by the possibility
                 E           
Don't want to be old and numb
A                      
Wanna tell myself a lie
      A          
Wanna tell myself
                    E        A B
I'd rather be young and dumb ■ ■
